Description

The inspiration for this study has come from the painting of Ola Hermundsson Bergg (1768-1825), Hovel Christopher Gaarder (1774-1825), and Peder Aadnes (1769-1792). Of course this study has my interpretations and a new variation of my favorite Valdres rose that I felt was necessary for contrast when the first highlight was Rich Gold.
